People, you know the deal, right?
The prices of these are all over the map. Some are rough. Some are clean. Some have replacement parts. Some don't.
What does it all come down to?
Price, reputation, or condition?
Well, for me, I'll have them all.
That brings me to this 1952 Gibson BR-9.
As you can see, this one is in exceptional condition. Original Rola speaker dated to the 8th week of 1948. Original transformers. Clean cosmetics. The kind of amplifier that rarely survives seventy-plus years looking like this.
Cover?
Of course.
Am I afraid to ship?
Not at all, because this will be professionally packaged for those of you that just so happen not to live next door to the guy selling this amp.
And the sound?
Pure vintage Gibson. Warm, rich, and full of the kind of tube tone that made people fall in love with these little amplifiers in the first place.
Like my father would say, quality is remembered long after the price is forgotten.
That means service as well.
See for yourself what the world already knows.
It's not bragging if you're backing it up.
